Product details
Overview
SMBJ110AHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in the SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for robust overvoltage protection of sensitive electronics. It features a 110 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 122–135 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 177 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 3.4 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed on power rails and signal lines in industrial motor drives and telecom interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ110AHM3/I datasheet, SMBJ110AHM3/I pinout, SMBJ110AHM3/I application, or SMBJ110AHM3/I equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free RoHS compliance, and real-world clamping performance under surge conditions - critical for automotive-grade ESD/surge co-design and IEC 61000-4-5 system-level compliance validation.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, leveraging glass-passivated silicon junction technology to deliver sub-nanosecond response time and low incremental surge resistance. Its 177 V clamping voltage at 3.4 A ensures reliable protection of downstream MOSFET gate drivers and microcontroller I/O pins against lightning-induced surges and inductive switching transients.
The device is rated for -55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJA = 100 °C/W (typ.) and RθJL = 20 °C/W (typ.), enabling stable operation on standard PCB copper pads without heatsinking in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 110 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before clamping begins; defines safe operating margin above nominal rail voltage. |
| VBR (min/max) | 122 V / 135 V at 1 mA - Breakdown threshold range ensuring consistent avalanche initiation across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | 177 V at 3.4 A - Clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge; determines maximum stress imposed on protected ICs. |
| PPPM | 600 W - Peak pulse power handling capability; supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (4 kV) surge immunity testing. |
| IFSM | 100 A - Non-repetitive forward surge current rating (8.3 ms half-sine); validates robustness against accidental polarity reversal events. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive modules and high-ambient industrial enclosures. |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - Surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), unidirectional configuration with cathode band marking on one end. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or low-voltage reference; forms current path during reverse-biased clamping event. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., 110 V DC bus or RS-485 A/B line); blocks conduction until VWM exceeded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 4 kV surge events without external series impedance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110AHE3/I | Same electrical specs, but RoHS-compliant commercial grade (not AEC-Q101 qualified); uses standard tin plating instead of whisker-tested matte tin. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial systems where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. | Select SMBJ110AHE3/I for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring identical clamping performance. |
| SMCJ110A-M3/5B | Same VWM/VC, but larger SMC (DO-214AB) package; higher PPPM = 1500 W; RθJA = 40 °C/W (lower thermal resistance). | Better thermal performance and surge margin; requires larger PCB area and higher assembly cost. | Choose SMCJ110A-M3/5B when system-level surge testing exceeds 600 W or ambient temperature exceeds 105 °C. |
Compared with SMBJ110AHM3/I, SMBJ110AHE3/I offers identical protection performance without automotive qualification, while SMCJ110A-M3/5B trades compact size for higher surge capacity and improved thermal dissipation - enabling selection based on qualification requirements and thermal design constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ110AHM3/I under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The SMBJ110AHM3/I has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 177 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standardized 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per Figure 1 in Vishay Document 88392 and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The SMBJ110AHM3/I maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C) with minimal drift.
Is SMBJ110AHM3/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ110AHM3/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HM3" suffix in its ordering code - indicating halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with full automotive reliability testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias HAST, and mechanical shock. This qualification makes SMBJ110AHM3/I suitable for under-hood and body electronics where zero-defect operation is required.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in SMBJ110AHM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix in SMBJ110AHM3/I denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and AEC-Q101-qualified construction. It specifies matte tin-plated leads meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and 260 °C peak reflow compatibility. This distinguishes SMBJ110AHM3/I from commercial-grade variants like SMBJ110A-E3/I and confirms its suitability for automotive and high-reliability industrial use.
Can SMBJ110AHM3/I be used in bidirectional protection circuits?
No, SMBJ110AHM3/I is a unidirectional TVS diode, identifiable by its cathode band marking and specified electrical characteristics for reverse-biased operation only. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers the SMBJ110CA variant (with "CA" suffix), which provides symmetrical clamping in both polarities. Using SMBJ110AHM3/I in bidirectional configurations risks failure during positive transients due to lack of forward conduction capability.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ110AHM3/I, and how does it affect PCB layout?
SMBJ110AHM3/I has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal, as defined in Vishay Document 88392. This value assumes minimum recommended pad layout; increasing copper area or adding thermal vias reduces RθJA and improves sustained surge handling. Layout must maintain isolation between anode/cathode pads and avoid thermal coupling to heat-generating components.
